Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Speed Advisory
Speed Advisory is similar to speed alert but this notifies the driver of what the "advised" speed is. This would be applicable on roads such as highway exit ramps, where there are recommended speeds for the ramp. The driver can scroll through the DIC, in the IPC, to display "Advisory: XX MPH" (or "Km/h" for metric setting). The notification to the driver will be based on the offset for Speed Alert (at limit, +5 MPH, +10 MPH). Speed Advisory messages have a higher priority than Speed Alert messages. Speed Advisory notification can be turn off through the DIC.
